Serato Introduces Support for Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ

Published in March-April-May-June 2020 Issue

Serato DJ Pro 2.3.3 has introduced support for the Pioneer XDJ-XZ. DJ’s wanting to use the XDJ-XZ with Serato DJ Pro 2.3.3 will be required to update and install the latest version of the XDJ-XZ firmware.

For the first time, Serato’s colored waveforms are integrated directly into the 7inch screen and CDJ-sized jog wheel displays. As well as Serato DJ Pro support also unlocks 4-deck mixing capabilities and a range of Serato specific software features. The XDJ-XZ allows to take full creative control of DJ sets with 14 professional beat FX and 6 Sound Color FX taken directly from the DJM-900NXS2 mixer, and trigger software-specific features using the 16 multi-colored Performance Pads (eight per deck).

The output sound of the XDJ-XZ is easily tuned with the 3-band EQ on the master output - meaning it can easily be optimized for any environment. There are two separate microphone inputs with independent 3-band EQ’s to give complete flexibility. A built-in Feedback Reducer means it’s all hype, no hassle.

Key features:

• 4-deck mixing capability with Serato DJ Pro
• Serato waveforms and track overview displayed on-screen and jog wheels
• Full-size CDJ jog wheels with virtual spindle and track information
• DJM mixing section with Beat FX and Sound Color FX
• Phono and line input on channels 3 and 4 for external players
• Dual mic connectivity with individual 3-band EQs and Feedback Reducer
